One thing that I think is great about Hugo Weavings portrayal of Elrond in LoTR is just how tired and exhausted he is. Like this is a guy who has lived thousands of years. He has seen dynasties and kingdoms rise and tear each other down. Both of elves and men. Yes he comes across as arrogant. But he also has just ran out of energy to fake caring about the same mistakes being made for the hundredth time this millennia.
Like look at him. He hasn’t had a hope in his world in centuries. This is a man that is very familiar with disappointment.
